Instructions
Prepare and coat the tofu
Press tofu for a minimum of 15 minutes. Cube into 1 inch pieces and toss with cornstarch to coat evenly. This ensures a crispy exterior that will hold up in the stir-fry.
Fry the tofu
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add tofu and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the peanut sauce
Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and minced garlic with 3 tablespoons of warm water until completely smooth and creamy. The sauce should be pourable.
Stir-fry the vegetables
Add remaining oil to the hot wok. Add broccoli florets and red bell pepper and stir-fry on high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp with some char on the edges.
Combine everything
Return the crispy tofu to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over everything and toss vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until evenly coated and heated through. Serve immediately.
